Why study in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands (or Holland as it is often referred to) is a small European country with vast horizons. Though the first things that spring to mind may be cheese, tulips, and windmills, the country has so much more to offer.

The Dutch are known for their innovation and creativity, and their education system is recognised for its international character and problem-based learning style. The Netherlands is considered the most connected country in the world, and the Dutch continually strive to make connections, whether culturally or in business opportunities, with many multinationals based in The Netherlands. Compared to other English-speaking countries like the US and the UK, tuition fees in The Netherlands are relatively low. And while Dutch is the national language, English is widely spoken by an estimated 90% of the population, so you don’t have to worry about learning Dutch – for now!

On the Study in Holland website you can read about all the perks of being an international student in the Netherlands and get ample information about Dutch culture, education and other practicalities of living and studying in the Netherlands.
